God Is Victorious Over Deathনমুনা

Who Am I? Weaker Than Death:

NO HUMAN HAS EVER FIGURED OUT how to cheat death. People have searched for ways to keep from getting older. Folks have looked for the so-called fountain of youth. Our generation is furiously trying all kinds of ways to stay young, sexy, and alive in every sense of the word. But time passes, and death comes to every man and woman. It is both predictable and not. It is a constant threat. On our own, we feel very helpless when facing death. We sense inwardly the deep reality that our lives on earth are temporary. Each of us knows that our life span will be a hundred years or so at best. Tomorrow is not promised to us. Each person’s life is “like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone” (James 4:14). And this leaves every human with a very troubling question: What happens to me and my loved ones after we die? Christ came precisely to take care of the answer to that big life question, and that is the Good News—the gospel.
